Forum E: Lean process implementation strategies and results for capital project and FM organizations

Target these two big, bottom-line, financial payoffs from lean process implementations in both the capital project and facility management areas: higher space utilization, and labor productivity. Here, Sheon Lynch and David Schlappy set out Le Bonheur's methodology and lessons learned in the implementation of lean principles for major capital construction projects, renovation projects, and on-going facilities operation expense. They detail capital expenditure savings achieved with lean project delivery, space utilization improvements attained with lean design, and operating cost reductions realized with facility management process changes.
